1. City Council, for the first time since Mayor Parker was elected went contrary to her wishes and called this meeting themselves. She had here-to-fore denied them the opportunity to hold testimony on Houston’s Debt and Pension problems, keeping them out of the public record.Kudos to our Council members!

2. When it became apparent that the vote opposing this deal would be successful, Council members Cohen and Robinson walked out to intentionally break Quorum and stop the vote.

A. SENATE STRATEGY for HB 2572: Kill Sylvester’s bill or one similar, including amendments, in Committee

1. Ask SENATOR HUFFMAN to fervently oppose this bill.Sen. Joan Huffman: 512.463.0117(name links to online email form at the bottom of page)
2. If Sen. Huffman is aggressively in opposition to the bill in the senate then it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for Sen. Whitmire to push this bill through the senate. As such, we need EVERYONE to reinforce and increase the Senator’s opposition.

3. Ask Sen. Paul Bettencourt to remain vigilant against any pension bills similar to Rep. Turner’s HB 2572 being sent through Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) Committee of which he is Vice-chair.Sen. Paul Bettencourt: 512-463-0107(name links to online email form at the bottom of page)
